Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; A Generic Submission for
Formative Research, Pretesting,
Stakeholder Measures and Advocate
Forms at NCI
Under the provisions of
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity
for public comment on proposed data
collection projects, the National Cancer
Institute (NCI), the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects to be
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval.
Proposed Collection: Title: A Generic
Submission for Formative Research, Pretesting, Stakeholder Measures and
Advocate Forms at NCI. Type of
Information Collection Request: New.
Need and Use of Information Collection:
In order to carry out NCI’s legislative
mandate, the Office of Advocacy
Relations (OAR) disseminates cancer-
SUMMARY:
related information to a variety of
stakeholders, seeks their input and
feedback, and facilitates collaboration
between the Institute and these external
partners to advance NCI’s authorized
programs. It is beneficial for NCI,
through the OAR, to pretest strategies,
concepts, activities and materials while
they are under development.
Additionally, administrative forms may
be part of this generic submission since
they are a necessary part of collecting
demographic information and areas of
interest for advocates. Pre-testing, or
formative evaluation, helps ensure that
the products and services developed by
NCI have the greatest capacity of being
received, understood, and accepted by
their target audiences. Since OAR is
responsible for matching advocates to
NCI programs and initiatives across the
cancer continuum, it is necessary to
measure the satisfaction of both internal
and external stakeholders with this
collaboration. This customer satisfaction
research helps ensure the relevance,
utility, and appropriateness of the many
initiatives and products that OAR and
NCI produce. The OAR will use a
variety of qualitative (focus groups,
interviews) and quantitative (paper,
phone, in-person, and web surveys)
methodologies to conduct this research,
allowing NCI to: (1) Understand
characteristics (attitudes, beliefs, and
behaviors) of the intended target
audience and use this information in the
development of effective strategies,
concepts, activities; (2) use a feedback
loop to help refine, revise, and enhance
OAR’s efforts—ensuring that they have
the greatest relevance, utility,
appropriateness, and impact for/to
target audiences; and (3) expend limited
program resource dollars wisely and
effectively. Frequency of Response: On
occasion. Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Businesses or other for
profit; Not-for-profit institutions and
organizations; Federal Government;
State, Local, or Tribal Government. Type
of Respondents: Adult cancer research
advocates; members of the public;
health care professionals; organizational
representatives. Table 1 outlines the
estimated burden hours required for a
three-year approval of this generic
submission. There are no Capital Costs,
Operating Costs, and/or Maintenance
Costs to report.
